Abstract
What do all of these technical developments really mean? Are we witnessing a “secret media revolution”? Are web logs, wikis and free software changing the world from behind? These are some of the questions Erik Möller asks in a book of the same name. It indicates that we are faced with difficult problems: What is the relationship between technology and social progress? Something seems to be getting out of hand with wikis. Defenders of free software and Wikipedians see great benefit in it. Others fear these uncontrollable developments.
